Although Africa was fought by Rommel and the Afrika Korps, he is about to succeed the head of state, even if it is for the sake of wooing or stabilizing people's minds, he must take out the interests of Africa and divide them, instead of holding them tightly in his hands, this is the difference between the head of state and the local director. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Rommel saw that the people were almost all there, and said in a very easy-going tone:

"There are two items on the agenda for today's meeting, the first on the selection of governors of Egypt and Libya, and the second on some issues concerning the various branches of the armed forces and the various forces.

Everyone has expressed their views, and we are putting out a few appropriate opinions for discussion, and after they are adopted, we will implement them in accordance with the adopted opinions, and now we will start to raise our hands and speak. ”

During Hitler's reign, before preparing for the implementation of the Barbarossa Plan, there was a massive expansion of the army, and the resulting situation was a serious shortage of equipment in all branches and units.

In 1941, the German armed forces numbered 8,484,000, including 7,234,000 regular soldiers and 1,250,000 civilian and support personnel.

Of the 7,234,000 regular troops, 5 million are in the army, 404,000 are in the navy, 1,680,000 are in the air force, and 150,000 are in the SS. Of the 5 million troops in the army, 3.8 million are in the field army, and 1.2 million are in the reserve army and logistics training institutions of government agencies, academies, and colleges.

The field army was 3.8 million people, with a total of 205 divisions, of which 145 divisions and 3.206 million people participated in Barbarossa, and only 60 divisions and 594,000 people did not participate in Barbarossa.

It is simply impossible for such a large army to be fully equipped in just a few months, and even if Rommel mobilizes all France to produce armaments, it will not be able to accomplish this task, which undoubtedly seriously restricts the combat effectiveness of the German army.

Rommel is proposing it now to ask the executives who are working to think of a way to see if there is a practical solution to this problem.

Rommel, who had been in the position for a long time, finished speaking very calmly, and then motioned to the generals and marshals below to raise their hands to speak:

"I'll say a few words"

As soon as Rommel's words fell, the chicken farmer, the general leader of the SS, jumped out first, and he did not know why Himmler was so arrogant, for fear that others would not know about him and ignore him.

You must know that Himmler was a very cautious person in front of Hitler, and as soon as Himmler arrived in front of the Wehrmacht, he became very arrogant, like an aggressive rooster, and he really did not insult his nickname - the owner of the chicken farm, "the fighting chicken of the rooster".

"Marshals, generals, I would like to raise a question for you to discuss, as you know, in the African campaign, our valiant SS Panzer Division broke through several lines of defense in Egypt in one day, attacking and advancing more than 300 kilometers.

And the next day he completely took the Egyptian capital, such a record is unprecedented, the Wehrmacht has never had such a record, so I propose to expand the SS into an armored army. ”

Before the battle was over, Himmler began to shout for merit, reward, and expansion, and you must know that a German Panzer Army was composed of three to five armies, and each corps was composed of three to five divisions, and under special circumstances it could also be six divisions.

In other words, as soon as Himmler came up, he had to expand 12 to 20 armored divisions and 3 to 5 supplementary divisions, and the total strength of the army was expanded from 80,000 to 400,000. Even with the development of the German Navy had to be greatly affected.

Is it really a brainless idiot for Himmler to open his mouth? Is Himmler so instigating the struggle between the four armies of the German Army, Navy and Air Force a stupid pig?

WrongHimmler is a cunning rooster, definitely not a stupid "fighting chicken among roosters", Himmler can have such an achievement today, it is no accident, if there is no political skill, there would have been no scum left in the pit, but why did Himmler do this?

Himmler's intention in doing so was great, and it can be said that the intention was profound.

The rule of the Third Reich was dictatorship, a powerful model of iron-fisted and power politics, and in this case, if Himmler, as the general leader of the country, was fighting a hot battle with the army, navy, and air force, or even monolithic, with SA Rohm as an example and Air Marshal Goering as an example, Himmler's fate could be imagined.

Himmler was thinking that Rommel would show loyalty! Because he didn't want to give the new Führer Rommel the impression that he was a clique.

Therefore, Himmler must choose to stand on the side of Germany on land, sea and air, and create a little friction if there is no contradiction, because the German national character determines that they will not use Stalin's way of resolving internal contradictions, and they will definitely not treat domestic contradictions as contradictions between us and the enemy, which is purely self-digging.

Himmler now has arrogant capital, who told him that the SS under his command can fight and win a big victory, and now the new Führer Rommel has just begun to preside over the work, Himmler really wants to expand the army, now strike while the iron is hot, first offer a sky-high price, and then sit on the ground to pay back. this

For Himmler, a former chicken farmer, there was no shortage of work. As long as the army, navy, and air force accept the recruitment, Himmler believes that with his incorruptible tongue, he can definitely get enough benefits for the SS, they are not the Führer, and Himmler does not mind blaming them, which is also what the new Führer Rommel is willing to see, so what scruples does Himmler have.

Himmler still has a heart to show his merit, didn't your Wehrmacht look down on our Guards before? How about now, our record shocked your jaw, dare you say that we are just standing guard No, isn't your Wehrmacht very good? We attacked and advanced 300 kilometers in one day, and took the enemy's capital in one day, while your Wehrmacht only advanced 100 kilometers after two days of attacking, and Himmler slapped the Wehrmacht in the face clearly.

As soon as Himmler's words were finished, the faces of all the Wehrmacht generals in the conference room of the German Ministry of Defense were all pitch black, like the bottom of a pot for ten thousand years, and the generals of the German army, navy and air force all cursed you in their hearts This damn "chicken head", aren't you slapping the face of the German army, navy and air force, should you be so arrogant with a little war record and a little merit? Don't think that if there is a new head of state covering you, we are afraid that you will not be able to do it.

Himmler completely aroused the temper of the German army, navy, and air force generals, and he almost copied his old fist and was ready to go up and beat Himmler's "chicken head". It was Keitel who made his face count, and the other generals calmed down a little, ready to fight with Himmler with a war of words.

The three armies of Germany were depressed in their hearts, in the past, there was Goering's dead fat man who was arrogant and domineering, and Goering was killed, and now there is another Himmler such a person, since Himmler, the "chicken head", wants to provoke a "war", how can the self-righteous guys of the German Wehrmacht get angry, Himmler really regarded himself as a "fighting chicken among roosters".

Fedor? Feng? Marshal Bock, who was already a dry and fiery picture, slapped the folder in his hand on the table, and pointed at Himmler and shouted:

[Continue to ask for a monthly pass, reward, recommend, the fallen leaves need the fire support of the brothers.] (To be continued.) )
